Another Shelf Mod

Oh boy, another modification to the shelves. The last modification I made to the shelves took up too much floor space. I didn't realize how much space they took up until I placed them into the 3D model of the store layout. I messed around with the 3D model to see what worked best. As it turns out whacking off one end of the shelves and moving them perpendicular to the wall gave me more room and easy access from both sides. The graphics below are the modification in progress. I got a temporary structure holding each shelf in place while I bolt on the wing spars at the end. The graphic at bottom is a mock up of the first floor.

Thank You

I've been at this for quite awhile now, so I figure it's time to stop and say thanks to all who have helped me out so far. First and foremost, thank you Jesus. I'm glad you have been with me along the way. Thank you to all my family and friends who having been saying prayers. For all the family and friends who helped tear the old building down, thanks.

Thank you Jennifer at Meridian Bank for your help in obtaining the financing needed just to even make this project possible. Thank you Thomas at Redden Construction for your enthusiasm and willingness to take on a small job like this. Thank you Anne Marie and Matt at ACS Services for going above and beyond when I needed a soils report in a pinch.

Thank you City of Glendale Planning Department, particularly Remigio. Your help and patience during the plan submittal process is appreciated more than you realize.

Thank you neighbors of the Blue Myrtle House "lot". Your encouragement and inquisitiveness along the way has helped me to keep going.

Thank you Kevin for drafting the plans. It wasn't as easy as it seemed but you were able to take my house design and make it work.

It's official! Construction begins on the Blue Myrtle House next week!

Happy Thanksgiving! This time next year we won't be open today, but we will the day before and after. Exciting announcement coming Monday!

Exciting news! A big announcement will be made on Monday about the Blue Myrtle House.

Shelf Shape

I modified the shelves I'm making. They didn't look aero enough so I made a simple change to the length of each shelf. This not only gives them more of an airplane look, but it also increases shelf space. This is a rough finish. I still have to align the shelves, sand and stain the wood, and paint the metal (wings).
